The American golfer will make his debut at the 2026 Omega European Masters this weekend.
Gerard will start with confidence that he can win in Switzerland after his recent displays on the PGA Tour.
Rasmus Hojgaard
Rasmus Hojgaard has come good on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour lately, placing 4th at the Rocket Classic, T49 at the Wyndham Championship, and T2 at the recent Danish Golf Championship.
Additional highlights from Rasmus Hojgaard's season include a T24 at the WM Phoenix Open, a T9 at the Cognizant Classic, and a T24 at the Myrtle Beach Classic.
The five-time DP World Tour winner has compiled an excellent record at the Omega European Masters, with results of a victory in 2021 on debut, MC in 2022, MC in 2023, T17 in 2024, and T2 in 2025.
Hojgaard loves playing at this event and can emerge victorious in Switzerland come Sunday.

Other prominent performances achieved by Penge this season include a T25 at the BMW Australian PGA Championship, a T16 at the Genesis Invitational, T4 at the Valspar Championship, and T21 at the Valero Texas Open.
